Update: Big Comeback for Pioneer Poker Brand
Poker Room revamped! After three years of absence, it has finally been confirmed that one of the first online poker brands in the market, Poker Room has been revamped, and that it has been opened for business by Bwin as a side project by bwin.party Stockholm employees. The brand was first launched back in 1999, but with the passage of the UIGEA in 2006 it received a serious blow as its parent network Ongame decided to exit the US market; this eventually led to its shutdown in 2009, when its player base was transferred to Bwin. Now, is the online poker room a part of the bwin.party plans to enter the US market through its recent partnership with MGM and Boyd Gaming? Is the brand revamped in order to raise the price of the Ongame network, which the company has up for sale? These are the questions whose answers will have to be awaited until new movements develop in the online gambling giant.
